Chapter 23
The time, splas.h.i.+ng water.
The second time……..she was helpless-ah!
„Master?“ Jing Xin worriedly approached her. She reached out, wanting to take the wet cloak.
„Sigh. There´s no need. This is still useful.“ Qu Tang´er didn´t let Jing Xin touch the cloak. Instead, she has drapped it over her body again. She was walking cautiously yet also strangely.
„Master shouldn´t have pushed Jing Xin away. Otherwise….“
„Are you stupid? If water was spilt on you, how much would you be able to block? Hehe.“ Qu Tang´er smiled nonchalantly. However, her beautiful eyes glimpsed at Jing Xin, who truly didn´t have the slightest bit of water on her body. She couldn´t help whispering: „Old woman Qu´s splas.h.i.+ng technique is truly top-notch. She actually splashed so properly. All the water greeted only me. Did she have lots of practise?“
„Master?“
„Well. What has to come, will still eventually come. I will only be facing a little of unfairness. I could only blame a truly ignorant Heaven for making me drop to this place. If I had known beforehand, I would have learnt some magic in the past. Not being able to fly away, not being able to escape, learning a few moves and stances of doing a magic trick to scare people was also possible. Regret-ah, regret.“ Qu Tang´er curled her lips, her face showing impatience. Only she said it too quietly, so other didn´t hear it clearly.
Taking a step, she walked into main hall.
„Are you going to die? You are so slow. Hurry up!“
After old woman Qu´s curses fell down, Qu Tang´er continued with her not too fast nor too slow pace.
On the one hand, she was moving forward, on the other hand Qu Tang´er was calculating time.
She was waiting. Waiting for an opportunity.
Qu Tang´er raised her head just ever so slightly, then in a split second, grasped the situation inside the room. Qu Jianglin was sitting left to the head seat, and big madam standing in front of the chair that was right to the head seat. Following were second, third, fourth and continuous lining up according the rank of each madam. As for original Qu Tang´er´s mother, she had only the right to stand there……standing not far from Qu Jianglin´s back.
„Dead wench! Why haven´t you thrown away your cloak?“ Big madam was displeased. Her eyes were watching the wet cloak on Qu Tang´er´s body. She felt a slight chill, but the main thing has yet to come.
„Didn´t you hear what Daniang said? Why haven´t you thrown away your cloak? Don´t always make your Daniang angry.“ Qu Jianglin finally opened his mouth. Just as soon as he opened his mouth, the one he thought about was nevertheless big madam. Yet, the position of Qu Tang´er´s birth mother, the ninth madam, was too low. She couldn´t say even a word apart from using this pair of grieving eyes attentively watching Qu Tang´er.
„Yes. Tang´er understood.“ Qu Tang´er glanced at big madam, then swept a look at Qu Jianglin. Afterwards, she lowered her head, fixing the attention on the cloak on her body. A strange light flashed inside her eyes. At last, she was precisely waiting for this moment. Her current position was not too far nor too close to big madam. Just enough.
And then……
Pu! Pu!
Once she took of the cloak, she fiercely flung it, then flung it several more times.
Although, she do admit, that her water flinging skill was not as good as big madam´s suberb water spilling skill, but……it was just /enough. Using another point of view, it could be regarded as valiant!
„d.a.m.n it! Qu Tang´er, do you have a death wish?“ Big madam´s lion roar appeared. Yet, when she howled out, she has realized that she had lost self-control. She immediately restrained herself afterward.
„Daniang, what happened to you? Why is your face covered with water? Is it raining? It´s not right. Even if it was raining, you are currently standing inside the house, it´s impossible to be drenched by rain.“ Qu Tang´er puzzledly looked at big madam, as if she didn´t know (where) water drops? on her face were from, and also as if she couldn´t make out how did big madam´s fury flare up.
